Spain vs Paraguay. Paraguay missed a penalty kick that would have given them a lead in the second half. Moments later Spain was awarded a penalty. Their penalty was disallowed after Spanish attackers ran into the area before the kick was made. Spain had to shoot the penalty again and this time the Paraguayan goaltender made an excellent save. Spain scored a goal to win the game 1-0 and end the dreams of Paraguay.

Argentina vs. Germany. Diego Maradonna’s magic fizzled out against Germany, who routed the Argentine team 4-0. The broadcaster’s in the both joked that Rolling Stone singer, Mick Jaegger, brought bad luck to Argentina. In previous World Cup matches Mick Jaegger was seen cheering on England, the United States, and Brazil before being eliminated. Klosse, forward from Germany has scored 14 goals in his career in World Cup matches, putting him 2 goals ahead of Pele, and is now one goal away from catching Ronaldo, who scored 15 goals in World Cup competition.
